Chapter 303: The Magical Stone (Part II)
Dean Zhong's face was a little angry, because Qin Xuebing had affected his business. The two treasures entering the Forbidden City and the exhibition of Qin Xuebing's private collection have made the prestige of the Forbidden City surpass that of the Great Wall, and the Forbidden City has almost become the first choice for tourists to visit the capital.
Even though the craze for treasure exhibitions has passed, the Forbidden City maintains a high daily flow of people, more than double that of the same period in previous years, and has completely surpassed the world's four major museums in this regard. It also includes a large number of Western tourists.
The May Day Golden Week has just passed, and what is surprising is that the flow of people in the Forbidden City is not as good as before the Golden Week, is it because the May Day Golden Week has attracted too many tourists, so that the number of tourists is consumed in advance? For this reason, the Forbidden City did an investigation and found that it was not the case at all, and the reason was Qin Xuebing.
Qin Xuebing has already announced to the public that the treasure will be exhibited in the Forbidden City, and many people naturally think that instead of going to the Forbidden City again, it is better to wait until the treasure is exhibited and then go, saving two trips. It's just like a shopping event, where sales are bound to be affected before the event starts, and as soon as the event starts, it attracts a large number of customers.
In order to reduce the losses of the Forbidden City, Dean Zhong came over in his spare time, ready to implement this matter, and then immediately entered the publicity period.
Qin Xuebing naturally has no opinion on this, anyway, the family has already started to build a basement, move things to the Forbidden City for exhibition, and after the exhibition is completed, they can be directly put into storage: "What about the scope of the exhibition?" Just the treasure, or do you want to bring out the old collection? ”
"Of course, the more the merrier." Dean Zhong is never too much, the more things the more attractive they are. And the Forbidden City is a big place, so you don't have to worry about not having enough space.
"In this way, three single museums will be opened this time." Qin Xuebing quickly made up his mind to open a single museum for the collection other than the treasures, a single museum for Blackbeard's treasures, and a single museum for the fine wines collected by those pirates.
"Profits are split equally!" The conditions given by Dean Zhong are also quite generous, with three single museums. The ticket price of a single hall is ten yuan, which is thirty yuan. There are also fifteen dollars in half.
"No problem, yes. I'm also going to hold a small auction this time. "Qin Xuebing is not ready to hold everything in his hands. Of course, there will not be many things to sell, just symbolic shots of some items.
There are great benefits to doing so. It is entirely possible to measure the value of the treasure through the auctioned items, so that more people can realize the value of the treasure and stimulate tourists to visit.
"It's your own business, as long as you don't sell our Chinese cultural relics abroad." Dean Zhong only cared about Chinese cultural relics, even if Qin Xuebing burned Western cultural relics, he would not interfere in the slightest.
"The point is that you have to help me contact the auction company." Qin Xuebing rolled his eyes, I don't need your help, why am I carrying this stubble.
"You kid is stupid in treasure hunting, as long as you let out the news, those auction companies will come to the door themselves." Dean Zhong rolled his eyes back. Clap your hands and leave.
was despised, and Qin Xuebing could only admit it! As Dean Zhong said, what auction company would not be tempted? Qin Xuebing and the treasure map have formed a brand, and if they can organize this auction, the reputation of the auction house will definitely skyrocket. No one wants to miss out on this kind of good thing.
Qin Xuebing thought about it for a while and opened Weibo, although he rarely posted meager posts, he had a lot of fans, and he had already broken through the 20 million mark. It is no exaggeration to say that even if Qin Xuebing does nothing next. You only need to manage a meager business to live a nourishing life.
"I am going to auction some of the treasures and antiques and seek cooperation with auction companies. Note: Must be a local auction company. Qin Xuebing edited a meager note at random, and didn't even leave contact information, but he believed that those auction companies would definitely be able to find him.
"Mom, what do you think is the right thing to auction?" Qin Xuebing pulled Qiu Yun to the treasure house and asked her to help with ideas. …,
"Some of these gold and silver coins can be auctioned off, and a few more gold bricks can be taken out." Qiu Yun only felt that there were too many gold and silver coins, and there were several chests full of them, and there were many repetitions. Then there is the gold brick, which is very dazzling and exciting, and I believe it can attract many people. Besides, this thing retains its value and has the commemorative significance of treasure hunting, which alone can attract many people.
"As for these gems......"
Qiu Yun was a little reluctant, women are the same as dragons, even if there are a bunch of gems, even if only one of them is sold, it makes people feel uncomfortable: "Let's pick out a few, an auction can't even have the finale." ”
The gems that Qin Xuebing brought back this time were enough to have a box, hundreds of them, and they all had one characteristic, that is, they were very large, the smallest of which was the size of a little finger, and the largest was the red diamond. As for the larger blue diamond, it is already in Bernard's hands.
"There are also these wines, which can be auctioned off appropriately." Qiu Yun knows very well that these wines can definitely become heavyweight auction items, after all, they are all century-old wines, coupled with the legendary background of treasure hunting, if they can't be auctioned at a high price, it can only be said that the auctioneer is an idiot.
"As for these gold and silver artifacts, let's pick a few as well, I believe that Westerners will flock to them." Qiu Yun loves antiques and understands the market situation, these gold and silver objects are not popular in China, but they are definitely popular in the West.
Of course, in his opinion, the collections that Qin Xuebing brought back from this sea treasure hunt were far inferior to the previous two times. There was no shortage of national treasures brought back in the first two times, and any item brought back this time was just a commodity in her eyes.
This view, while somewhat subjective, is the result of cultural context.
Qin Xuebing began to select items, but there were not many, after all, it was only a symbolic auction. Gold and silver artifacts include a gold bracelet, a marshal's scepter, a set of silver cutlery, a silver flask, and a cross.
Gemstones include a colorless diamond, a sapphire, a ruby, an opal and an emerald.
As for the wine, this thing is a consumable, there are non-renewable, Qin Xuebing endured the distress and only filled a few bottles, domestic wine has Moutai, daughter red, Western wine has rum, wine, brandy, whiskey.
There are more gold and silver coins, so Qin Xuebing took out more of them, twenty gold coins and thirty silver coins, all of which are of different varieties.
Qin Xuebing took out the selected things out of the safe, and when he walked to the compound, he smelled the fragrance, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was his mother's craftsmanship. As long as he is at home, Qiu Yun always likes to show off his craft for his son to taste.
Qin Xuebing walked into the kitchen to get started, and when he saw his mother cooking wild boar, he couldn't help but have an idea: "Wild boar, giant wolf meat, wild boar bones, giant wolf bones, will anyone want them?" Just take out another wolf skin. ”
There are many people who like to hunt for curiosities these days, otherwise how could the meat of those wild animals be so expensive? At the end of the day, curiosity is the only thing that comes down to curiosity. And the monster meat he brought back was completely unseen on the market, and I believe that someone's vanity and curiosity will swell at the same time.
"Go, don't stay in the kitchen, it's an eyesore." Qiu Yun kicked her son out without saying anything, anyway, she just didn't like her son to go into the kitchen. It's not that Qiu Yun doesn't let men into the kitchen, Ouyang Guoping is often pulled into the kitchen, but he is different from his son, he owes too much in his heart, and he always wants to make up for it in all aspects.
Qin Xuebing was also helpless about this, so he could only walk out with a wry smile, make a pot of tea on the stone table in the compound, and then take off the jade pendant. The material of the jade pendant is also that strange piece of jade, the shape is very simple, it is gibbous moon-shaped, and Ye Zijing's Emei Moon can just form a full moon.
Qin Xuebing has almost developed a habit these days, as long as he is idle, he will take the jade pendant and observe it carefully, trying to find something from it. It's not that he's too curious, it's that the material is really weird, and it has a magical function. …,
Qin Xuebing urged the jade pen again, and scanned it extremely seriously, even if he learned to dissect, he couldn't do it so carefully, but he didn't find anything.
Looking at the jade pendant, Qin Xuebing's thoughts had already gone away, and his mind was full of why this thing was so magical, why this thing had this effect, and why......
Qin Xuebing was completely lost in thought, and even forgot the jade pendant in his hand, falling into an empty realm, as if he had completely cut off contact with the outside world.
Qiu Yun had already prepared the meal and shouted to Qin Xuebing, "Son, it's time to eat." Uncle Qin, Zijing, Xiaoxiao, and Little Sister are ready to eat. ”
But Qin Xuebing didn't seem to hear anything, Qiu Yun couldn't help but laugh, Ouyang Guoping was often like this, and it was easy to get into a trance when he thought about things. So, she shouted again: "Son, go wash your hands and get ready to eat." ”
Qin Xuebing still didn't react, Qiu Yun was a little helpless, and walked over and patted Qin Xuebing: "Son, I'm ready to eat." ”
But Qin Xuebing still didn't react, Qiu Yun suddenly felt a little ridiculous, and when she saw the jade pendant in Qin Xuebing's hand, she just thought that the jade pendant was doing something wrong, and she reached out to take the things away and let her son wake up. But as if there was a force that fixed Qin Xuebing's hand, no matter how hard Ren Qiuyun tried, he couldn't take away the jade pendant.
"Uncle Qin, come out quickly, something happened to Xuebing." Qiu Yun's voice was full of crying, her son had been separated for so many years, and if something happened again, she didn't know how to live.
Old Man Qin, Ye Zijing, Qin Xiaoxiao and Ouyang Xiaomei all ran out, and Hawkeye and Xu Yan also came out, seeing Qin Xuebing sitting still, I don't know why. Old Man Qin asked, "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”
"I don't know what's going on, as soon as I came out of the kitchen, I saw Xuebing sitting here, no matter how much he shouted, he couldn't wake up. Uncle Qin, think of a way. ”
Qiu Yun was extremely anxious, but Old Man Qin laughed and said, "Don't worry, this is a good thing, it is the creation of this bastard boy." ”
"Uncle Qin, tell me quickly, what's going on?" Qiu Yun hurriedly asked, but with Old Man Qin's words, he was no longer so anxious in his heart, at least he was no longer worried about losing his son again. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
